Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Five hundred miles outside Qiulong Prefecture, Anchan County, Bitu Mountain.

After Chen Ku experienced two fierce battles, he collected a total of 360 first-level demonic auras.

And the evil spirit of the sixth-level demon devil bird.

At this moment, after he left the sixth level of the Demon Summoning Banner, he looked at the devil bird he had killed, which had become food for the six-winged golden centipede, poisonous scorpion, and black smoke beast in the banner, and they all began to scramble for it.

Smile in your heart:

“It’s not a waste.”

He had seen clearly that this magic banner was in some sense the equivalent of the "deer yard" kept in the back garden of the imperial palace, where deer were usually kept there.

Whenever the emperor needed it, they would collect fresh deer blood to replenish his body.

Now, he is like the emperor.

If you keep such a banner of demons, you can kill them when needed to obtain evil spirits or demon materials. But when you don't need them, you can't let them starve to death.

That will get you nothing.

Compared to the trouble of raising deer, cranes and other tonic animals in the palace, they had to be hunted specifically.

Chen Ku was watching the scene where demons were still being summoned from the 600-li area of ​​Bitu Mountain into the demon-summoning banner, and thought to himself:

"My demon flag is simply amazing. It seems that every time I recite the formula, the number of demons in the flag will be replenished."

By mastering the six-level formula of the Demon Summoning Banner, one can incorporate into the banner a total of fifty sixth-level demons, one hundred fifth-level demons, three hundred fourth-level demons, five hundred third-level demons, eight hundred second-level demons, and one thousand first-level demons.

However, the one thousand first-level demons killed by Chen Kucai had been replenished in half a cup of tea.

Chen Ku looked at the many demon corpses that fell into the first level and thought:

"I wonder how much this much demon flesh and blood can be sold for. And my automatic alchemy plan seems to be able to be implemented because of this."

A fire-mouthed kettle that can transform into a fifth-level elixir can basically automatically refine all elixirs below the fifth-level elixir. If the materials in the demon-summoning banner can be utilized, it is hard to imagine how much profit can be generated every day.

"This is indeed a profitable project, and I have the space, capital and connections to display my talents."

He thought that he only needed to inform Yaowang Hall about this matter, and Yaowang Hall could be restarted easily.

And Chen Ku was a person who was very short of money from the beginning to the end.

Now he only has tens of thousands of taels of silver left. Before he opens the Xia Wang's treasure house, Sheyue Palace, and obtains the countless treasures in the palace, he still has to find a way to make money on his own.

Set this thought in mind.

Then he looked at the speed at which the Demon Summoning Banner summoned demons.

"The speed of summoning monsters here has slowed down. There should be only a few small monsters left. There are not many big monsters above the fourth level. Let's continue to walk into the deep mountains and old forests where there are few people."

that's it.

Chen Ku took off the demon-summoning banner and continued to go deeper.

As he continued to go deeper into the mountains, the number of demons above the fourth level in the demon-summoning banner was gradually increasing.

Looking at the scene of demons fighting each other in the Demon Summoning Banner, many more demon corpses appeared in a short time. He realized that it would not be long before he would have to go out frequently to replenish the Demon Summoning Banner.

Otherwise, it won’t be long before the demons here kill each other.

that's it.

Chen Ku worked hard for a whole night in the wild mountains in the southeast, northwest, and northeast of Anchan County, and finally replenished the number of fourth-level demons and fifth-level demons in the banner.

Thirty-six demons from the six realms were also forcibly detained.

Seeing that it was already dawn.

Chen Ku estimated that there were almost no more sixth-level demons in the vicinity of Anchan County, so he moved some of the first-level demon corpses in the first-level space to the sixth-level space to use as food.

Riding on the clouds, he returned to Qiulong Mansion.

Didn't sleep all night.

Chen Ku was somewhat tired. Unexpectedly, not long after he returned home and closed his eyes, he heard the sounds of gongs and drums and firecrackers outside the courtyard gate.

He immediately got up from the bed, and with his sharp ears and eyes, he heard the sounds outside his own courtyard.

"Great joy! This must be Mr. Chen's home! The results of the martial arts exams have been announced in the Martial Temple! The list of martial arts exams for the thirty-six counties in Qiulong Prefecture this spring has been announced. Mr. Chen is one of the three new martial arts scholars in Qiulong Prefecture this year and is on the list. We are here to congratulate him!"

"congratulations!"

Upon hearing the noise, Chen Ku got up and went out. When he got outside, he saw a group of officials wearing the robes of the Wumiao yamen, followed by a silent and evasive archway, and waiting at his door with the sound of gongs and drums.

A lot of people gathered on the street not far away.

My mother, sister-in-law, elder sister, and brother-in-law were all busy entertaining the guests.

"Chen Xiucai!"

The leading Wu Temple guard looked at Chen Ku and said:

"Originally, this 'Scholar's Crown', a token of your official status and achievements, was to be sent to Baojiao County, but unexpectedly, Baojiao County encountered a rebellion, so they had no choice but to suppress it. Yesterday, I heard that Chen Xiucai had moved to Qiulong Mansion, so I sent this Scholar's Crown to you as soon as possible, along with the 'Great Record' that records your official status and achievements."

Chen Ku appeared at the Three Emperors Ancestors Meeting yesterday. Many people have heard of his reputation, and naturally his name also reached the ears of Wu Miao.

He bowed and asked his family to seal a few red envelopes for the person who reported the good news. The yamen runner smiled and said, "Oh, and the old scholar Tang Lie from the Martial Temple asked me to bring you a message. He said that you solved his iron armor rhino puzzle and it was very good. He wants to invite you to visit his home."

Tang Lie, Armored Rhino?

Chen Ku's mind moved: "It must be the examiner who hid the material for the divine weapon 'Jiuli Armor Leaves'."

He knew that this kind of relationship could already be called a master, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I will visit you when I am free."

The message had already been delivered, so no more words were said. After sending off the person who brought the good news.

The family looked at the scholar's cap on Chen Ku's plate. It was made of white jade, and there was a sword in the middle that could be used as a hairpin.

Li Yuancheng said softly, "Men come of age at the age of 20. Erlang is only 18 years old after his birthday this year, so it's not time for him to come of age yet."

Chen Ku touched his hair. Before this, his hair was simply tied up on top of his head, with some messy hair hanging down between his eyebrows. He said, "I like the casual look now. If I really have to tie my hair up tightly, I won't be able to adapt to it."

Li Yuancheng shook his head and said, "It is a major event in a man's life to get a courtesy name when he reaches adulthood. At that time, I will give you another courtesy name. Chen Ku Chen Ku, this name is a nickname after all. Now that you are a scholar, you may become a juren or a master in the future. How can you still be called by a nickname?"

"That's right..." Mother Chen sighed and said, "I didn't think too much about naming you two brothers. Now that you have made great achievements, I have to find someone to come up with a grand name for you in the future."

"I'm not yet 20 years old." Chen smiled bitterly and said, "When the time comes, I'll ask my masters to give me a name."

"Two years will pass in a blink of an eye." The old man was still nagging: "We should make plans early..."

Chen agreed with a wry smile.

Chai Tiangui and Jiang Shaoyou from the side yard also came out to congratulate him. Chen Ku simply waved his hand and asked someone to call a chef from the restaurant outside and set up several tables for banquet at home.

During the banquet, Chai Tiangui said, "Brother Chen, after this meal, it's time for me to move out. Don't worry, I've found a house that's big enough for our family."

Jiang Shaoyou said with a smile: "I will move out too, but there is no need to be so pessimistic. Anyway, we will find a house nearby. If we have nothing to do in the future, we can continue to gather at Chen Ku's house."

"After you two move out, if you encounter any financial difficulties in your life in Qiulong Mansion, you can always come to me."

Chen Ku now has the Demon Summoning Banner. With the endless supply of demon materials, he can refine them into pills and become an automatic money-making machine. He has enough confidence to say these words.

Jiang and Chai both said yes with a smile.

After the banquet, Chen Ku watched the two families move away and slowly let out a breath. Thinking of the Yuan Kingdom that would move south at any time, he knew that Qiulong Mansion was not a place to stay for long. He estimated that he would have to move again when the time came...

Sighed:
"Practice!"

Only when you are strong enough can you face all problems.

He looked at the fifth and sixth level demons in the demon-summoning banner. There were more than a dozen abilities that he wanted to obtain, especially one of the demons named "Hard Bone Beast".

Chen Ku was not in a hurry to kill.

Instead, I took another nap.

After sleeping until the afternoon and feeling full of energy, he chose to enter the Hero King Realm, and then released the sixth-level strong-bone beast in the Hero King Realm.

In the world of chivalrous kings, there is no fear of the other party escaping.

Roar!
In the square in front of the Tuoshan Palace in the Xiawang Realm, as soon as this strong-bone beast was released, it let out a deafening dragon roar.

It looks like the 'Triceratops' from the dinosaur era in Chen Ku's previous life memory.

There was a huge bone shield on its head with horns on it. Its body was three times bigger than an elephant and three meters long, but it had many injuries on its body...

The injuries included claw marks and bite marks, and one of the horns on the top of the head was also burned by fire.

It was obviously the result of fighting with demons from the other five realms in the fifth level of the Demon Summoning Banner.

boom! !

The moment it saw Chen Ku, the strong-bone beast raised its four hooves and charged towards Chen Ku, causing the ground to shake under its feet.

When it was still three or four feet away from Chen Ku's body, the sharp horns on its head suddenly extended and stabbed towards Chen Ku like thorns!
[There is a strong-bone beast that wants to harm the master...]

Looking at this fifth-level hard-bone beast.

Chen Ku stood still, without even using his weapon. He simply used his mental power to grab the strong-bone beast and hung it in mid-air. Then he let out a breath and added a move called the Mountain Roaring Sea Seal!

boom!
The soul of this bone beast was knocked out of its body and its brain was smashed into pieces, but even so, the bony shield on its brain remained intact.

[The master of the picture kills the bone-hard beast and obtains a fifth-level evil spirit]

Not much nonsense.

Chen Ku hung it on the transformation diagram and consumed forty-five evil spirits to advance the transformation of the Strong Bone Beast to the transformation level.

Then you will be blessed with such ability to change.

[Bone Beast Transformation! ]

[Bone Beast Transformation: Transfiguration]

[Abilities: Bones as strong as diamond, bone spurs attack, strong internal organs, fascia protection...]

Looking at the ability of the Strong Bone Beast, this is exactly why he chose to kill this beast specifically.

This is because the bones of this beast are the raw materials used to refine the "Bone Strengthening Pills" necessary for the practice of the "Periosteum Stage", the strongest realm in the fifth realm.

Chen Ku is now stuck in the process from fascia stage to periosteum stage.

Therefore, he directly chose to cover his bones with the characteristics of the Bone-hardening Beast to help him cultivate his periosteum.

"As long as I cultivate the periosteum, I can take the Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill to impact the 'Sixth Realm Formation Network'. If I have the strength of the sixth realm, I will have the confidence to deal with other forces in this Qiulong Mansion."

So, Chen Ku took on the characteristics of the Strong Bone Beast and began to practice the inner strength realm skills.

Several days passed in a flash.

After feeling the characteristics of strong bones, Chen Ku has found the opportunity to repair the periosteum. Finally, one afternoon when the sun was setting.

A layer of periosteum grew from the inside out on all the bones in his body.

next moment.

As Chen Ku's mind moved, he used his unique skills from the Inner Strength Realm to transform into a three-meter-tall little giant! (End of this chapter)
